Abstract
Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein F (HnRNP F) is a key regulator for nucleic acid metabolism; however, whether HnRNP F expression is important in maintaining podocyte integrity is unclear. Nephroseq analysis from a registry of human kidney biopsies was performed. Age- and sex-matched podocyte-specific HnRNP F knockout (HnRNP FPOD KO) mice and control (HnRNP Ffl/fl) were studied. Podocytopathy was induced in male mice (more susceptible) either by adriamycin (ADR)- or low-dose streptozotocin treatment for 2 or 8 weeks. The mouse podocyte cell line (mPODs) was used in vitro. Nephroseq data in three human cohorts were varied greatly. Both sexes of HnRNP FPOD KO mice were fertile and appeared grossly normal. However, male 20-week-old HnRNP FPOD KO than HnRNP Ffl/fl mice had increased urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, and lower expression of podocyte markers. ADR- or diabetic- HnRNP FPOD KO (vs. HnRNP Ffl/fl) mice had more severe podocytopathy. Moreover, methyltransferase-like 14 (Mettl14) gene expression was increased in podocytes from HnRNP FPOD KO mice, further enhanced in ADR- or diabetic-treated HnRNP FPOD KO mice. Consequently, this elevated Mettl14 expression led to sirtuin1 (Sirt1) inhibition, associated with podocyte loss. In mPODs, knock-down of HnRNP F promoted Mettl14 nuclear translocation, which was associated with podocyte dysmorphology and Sirt1 inhibition-mediated podocyte loss. This process was more severe in ADR- or high glucose- treated mPODs. Conclusion: HnRNP F deficiency in podocytes promotes podocytopathy through activation of Mettl14 expression and its nuclear translocation to inhibit Sirt1 expression, underscoring the protective role of HnRNP F against podocyte injury.
